Sometimes the best part about making something is giving it your own personal touch.
MAKE is excited to announce that we’re combining all of the project guides and techniques on makeprojects.com with the rich library of content that we produce and curate here on makezine.com. This move will allow you to more easily find our growing collection of how-to guides, skill builders, and the inspiration you need to make.
When you visit the site today and in the coming weeks, you’ll notice a lot of ongoing improvements and changes. Part of this transition means that projects will no longer be on the wiki-based platform that we built with the folks at iFixit and Dozuki. If you contributed a guide on Make: Projects, never fear: your content is still accessible as html and the url to your project is redirecting to the new site.
Oh Happy Day makes me want to throw a party!
